Orr 1932 16 mi. W Bend, 6500 ft., Deschutes Co., Oregon June 18, 1932 at our last camp. This morning during a 3 hour walk the following birds were noted: Cooper Hawk, 1; Sparrow Hawk, 1; Grouse, 1; Williamson Sapsucker, 3; Hairy Woodpecker, 4; Mountain Blue Bird, 2; Nuthatch, 6+; Robin, 5; Chickadee, 8+; Western Tanager, 2; Bendire's Crossbill, 3; Red-breasted Nuthatch, 5+; Clarke's Nutcracker, 4+; Audubon Warbler, 4; Calaveras Warbler, 3+; Evening Grosbeak, 3; Golden-crowned Kinglet, 2; Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 5+; Pine Siskin, 3; Western Chipping Sparrow, 10+; Fox Sparrow, 5+; Cassin's Purple Finch, 4+; Oregon Junco, 1; Green-tailed Towhee, 1(3); Wright Flycatcher 4+; Olive-sided Flycatcher, 5+. I shot a Williamson Sapsucker that was clinging to the side of a Fir first, then flew to a Yellow Pine. Olive-sided Flycatchers were heard calling throughout most of the day than any other species. Miller found a Ruby Kinglet's nest next to camp in a Fir branch out near the tip 18 ft. above the ground. Previously I was observing a Kinglet singing in that vicinity from the upper portion of small Ledge Pole Pine & Fir trees. It was not seen more than 50 yards from the nest. At 11:05 a.m. a bird was seen to enter the nest & emerge 2 min. later. At 2 p.m. one was seen to enter nest. Gopher workings that are old are extremely numerous, but fresh work- ings are scarce. I managed to get out 4 sets this a.m. Last night I placed out 15 mouse last night & caught 1 Peromyscus maniculatus. Placed out a number more this a. m. Shot 2 Red Squirrels, both in Firs.
